Chuck
Why do you take everything to be an affront. No I was not trying to chastise (with an s not z) you. I repeat what I wrote earlier.
"What type of MEP do you fly and how do you teach your students to establish what the zero thrust settings for the "failed" engine is? If you don't, will not, do your own shutdown how do you and Chucky get a realistic setting. Or did you just grab the figure from out of the sky. I bet when you are using that figure you are fooling yourself; and worse your students into a false sense of performance."
Just because you confronted your students and they say they are happy does not mean a thing. Students will rarely ever confront an instructor they are unhappy with to their face. They will just go and ask for and instructor change to someone higher up the chain. If their is only one or two instructors in the area then they will probably just go along with a bad one as it is a case of they will be unable to judge if they are in fact being taught correctly because they will have no other benchmark to compare with.
What JAA approval are you working under? If it is for MEP do you just falsely claim to have taught a shutdown and restart in flight on the form? Please do enlighten me.
The problem with instructors is they try to use their own methods when in fact there are rather standardised ways of doing things that are normally tried and tested and have stood scrutiny from many learned men and are much better than someone's own method.
